The projected import volumes of fixed-wing aircraft with an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg to the US show a significant declining trend over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 146.09 thousand kilograms in 2024, the expected imports decrease by approximately 20.5% in 2025, 25.2% in 2026, 33.2% in 2027, and a further 48.6% by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is expected to decline, reflecting a substantial downturn in the importation of these aircraft types.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential technological advancements in lightweight aircraft that may alter import needs.
- Shifts in domestic manufacturing capabilities that could decrease dependency on imports.
- Changes in regulatory or economic conditions that might impact import volumes.
